Here's the thing: I've been pretty harsh on Chromebook tablets over the years. From the early attempts like Acer's Chromebook Tab 10 to the swing-and-miss that was the Pixel Slate to the latest HP Chromebook x2 11, I've not found a tablet running Chrome OS at this point that I've loved using. But this new tablet from Lenovo - the Chromebook Duet 5 - is one that has surprised me in just about every way. And it has become a device that I now pick up constantly after pretty much writing it off when it was first announced. There are lots of reason for that, so lets chat a little bit about the first Chromebook tablet that has actually become part of my everyday carry.

@taitanej1 2 года назад

Thanks for the great reviews. You helped me in making the decision to get this device. I was originally looking at a Tab S7, upgrading from a Fire HD 10, but happened on this channel and discovered this Duet 5 will fit all of my needs better, media consumption, emails and light productivity work.

I have both...the tab s7 is a better "tablet"...samsung does a great job with the UI.....but as a computer, this duet 5 is WAY BETTER than dex.

Thanks for your great spot-on Chromebook reviews, very helpful in making Chromebook purchase decisions, to hear all the plus and the few minus. Good to see that Lenovo has hit more than one winning sweet spot with their Duet line (both the original Duet and the Duet-5) in terms of the tablet-laptop hybrids. And thanks for being a Chicago Cubs fan!

@Alphachicken22 2 года назад

I personally love the duet 5, I got it as an upgrade to the duet 3 because it was the exact things I thought the 3 was weaker on. Specifically the screen was very dim in well lit rooms, amazing processing upgrade & I love the 2x USB-C ports. I was surprised how vivid the colors were on the screen & now I'm practically glued to it when it comes to streaming games. I decided to go into chromebooks because I wanted a lightweight, long battery life, low processing power device for game streaming. I have been pleasantly surprised now that I would rather play some games with advanced graphics on my chromebook now.

@LaurenceChiu 2 года назад

I bought this based on this review upgrading from a Lenovo Duet. I would agree with most of the reviewer's comments except I find the keyboard really hard to use. Despite being pretty much full size, the key travel is too limited for me and I find typing frustrating even when on a table. I am very impressed when the reviewer can type easily when it's on his lap. But overall it's a pretty capable device and I now use this as my main device (versus my Windows desktop) even moving my commonly used Excel spreadsheets to Google Drive now and updating them using the Chrome Office plugin

@ProbeGT2 7 месяцев назад

I've bought one and i can't stand the keyboard too. I just can't type on that thing without needing for a backspace every 3 words. But hooking a bluetooth keyboard and trackball is easy and fixes everything. Good thing the keyboard is detachable because it's that bad. I just bought a 2nd one refurbished for half the sales price. Wich makes it quite an amazing deal for a 13" OLED tablet alone.

@CoryInTheHouseThatsMe 2 года назад

G'day guys, I'm chasing a 2 in 1 for video streaming and occasionally typing documents but it must have WiFi 6 and a long lasting battery. I'm convinced this is the perfect one for me.

@laks2804 2 года назад

I'm also looking for same similar function to u, main thing is note taking, media consumption and remote gameplay like moonlight or steam link, using ipad pro 11 currently but the remote desktop not much convenient in that, that's y planning on changing either to this this or pixel slate, the only drawback in the Duet 5 is I'm scared with the limitations of ARM snapdragon 7c, moreover its also not good as snapdragon 865 or 870 slightly lower performance that's y I'm still hesitant to buy this and considering pixel slate as it's Intel core m or i5 paired with my pixel 6 also would feel great , so I'm in mixed doubt

@TjPhysicist 2 года назад

To answer your question about who would use such a device: me. I have a desktop, and a large phone - most of my work stuff is done on a work laptop i get from work (so no choice there, it's strictly for work). For me it comes down three simple things: 1. i don't need to do any work stuff, just media consumption and general "on the go" stuff. 2. 10" to me is too small for media consumption. Weight of devices have never bothered me, i'm usually wearing heavy winter coats and my backpack weighs over 5lbs EMPTY. 3. I also have a very expensive mouse and keyboard I carry around everywhere and use with all my devices anyways. So all in all, This is perfect. I dislike convertibles because the keyboards just get in the way.(if i need a keyboard and/or mouse - i have those already - ones I'm used to and been using on all my computing devices for years). I absolutely LOVED my pixel slate, and the pixel C before that. My only hesitance is, chromeOS is starting to get sluggish, I'm on the Flex 5 with 4GB RAM and it's SHIT, youtube lags all the time, i can't have more than 2 or 3 tabs open...

@zero-lpds 2 года назад

I'm truly surprised that the Gen2 of the 7C earned your badge of "recommending for everyone" - I might just replace my acer 513 (which I also use as a companion device to the 713) with this one. I generally like Lenovo's build quality (wife rocks a Lenovo Flex 5) so that might be my next step too. Thanks for the review

@yuneeccopter8645 2 года назад

Please do a longer term review. Please. I bought the Duet 5 , and a few weeks later also bought a Flex 5i, and although the Flex 5i is more powerful, your stuck with the fan going on and off, watching the battery life go down. The screen on the Flex 5i is also far inferior to that on the Duet 5. Night and day difference at any brightness level. Goes for the speakers, and levels as well. Add that to the far better better battery life on the Duet 5. At the end of testing them head to head, I ended up sending the Flex 5i back. Too much to give up for performance that is hardly ever used in a Chromebook in day to day use. The Duet 5 is in my opinion is the superior device for everyday tasks, such as RU-vid, browsing and light productivity apps. The perfect recliner arm chair device.

@SurvivingAnimation 2 года назад

Love all of your videos! Also, I’m on week 2 of owning mine and really love it too! One of my best moments already was watching a movie with subtitles on the kitchen table with my wife while our baby was sleeping just a few feet away. Normally, we can’t do this because the big TV lights-up the whole room. So, I give this device a review not often heard before. It was surprisingly romantic!

@stevenpsherwood 2 года назад

I've just received a Duet 5 from Bestbuy in Canada, and for my fellow Canadians want to highlight that here at least we only seem to get 4gb of RAM. My unit is paired with 128gb of storage. I'm not sure I will keep this as I'm finding the performance to be a bit slow - keyboard response often not 100% fluid, especially the touch keyboard. Not a buttery smooth UX for sure. I think the missing 4gb must make a huge difference as I'm just getting started, so I have hardly anything running. This is my first ChromeOS device, so perhaps my expectations are somewhat out of whack, but I do have a lot of Android device experience. One thing that I love so far is the OLED screen - that honestly is what made me want to buy this as I intend to use it mostly on the couch as a secondary device for productivity, and a primary device for content consumption. I''ll give it a couple days more as I have only had it going for an hour or two. Any tips on improving performance? Is the fact that I'm asking this after less than 2 hours indication of a problem? Thanks! PS - it seems that lag in tablet mode is a general issue with Chrome OS devices - didn't know that before. I guess I thought the tablet mode would basically be like Android...

@samtk0 2 года назад

@GhostAcez 2 года назад

Thank you for this video!! I randomly stumbled appon this online and this seems near perfect for what I want! I was looking for a tablet for mainly content consumption like RU-vid, Netflix, ect and was annoyed with the big black bars on iPads and other tablets do to their aspect ratios. I love that this one is 16 by 9! Compared to other OLED tablets of similar size, this thing is near half the price too!

@farishanafiah8461 2 года назад

Well said. Most tablets regardless of OS is either 16:10 or 3:2 or even 4:3. It's definitely refreshing to see 16:9 as it is still the golden standard for mass media.

@GhostAcez 2 года назад

@@farishanafiah8461 For sure! I was legitimately surprised to hear it was 16 by 9 and OLED starting at $400. This thing is a unicorn lol. I looked up some benchmarks and it's basically on par with a Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE power wise which I think is pretty good considering it has a bigger and better screen, comes with a keyboard and costs less.

@carmennooner2027 2 года назад

I am enamoured with the 13" screen! My hp x360 is tired and needs to be replaced. I was initially looking for another 2 in 1 to buy, this device intrigues me. I am not a content creator so the fact that you got so much fun time out of the battery doing your thing probably means that I can consume a great deal of content for longer periods of time, without having to plug in every six hours. I think I am going to hop over to Lenovo's store and see what the cost is for just the tablet, back and pen. I have a Bluetooth keyboard I use on my Android device so I won't need the attachable keyboard for this. And if I can use the stylus I bought for the Duet, maybe I can save a few more dollars. I am, after much trial and error, a tablet plus accessories gal. The laptop turned out to be a waste of money for me. Thanks for your review and comments about your likes and dislikes. They have helped me a lot! :)

@@LockDogg38 eMMC is very good at dealing with small-sized files, but if you're dealing with mid to high sized files, it'll fall short to an SSD. If you're coming from an HDD to an eMMC, you'll see an improvement, however, if you're coming from and NVMe or an SSD to an eMMC, you will surely notice how it'll run sluggish.

Also at the end of the day it can be used as a tablet for media consumption.

Very informative review. My wife has a Lenovo 100e. She is very happy with it. Me ,not impressed with the screen. This Duet 5 looks like a chromebook that I would enjoy. Maybe even replace my current iPad.

That's very useful for my studies, hope to have one. My phone can't do what that tablet can

Youre absolutely correct I had recomment to my olderly neighbor because he was un happy used the Ipad Air. After all he was ecstatic of easy to use + the OLED display makes big difference. Personaly despite using pretty advaned in Programing Win11 pro + Apple OS I have been tempting to get one for working with not complicated demands. Over all it is awesome very light Laptop-Tablet which wont break the Bank. Great review also a humble one!!

Great video. As always. Would love to see a comparison video with the device and the Google Pixel Slate as they are both 13" tablets.

@benaffleckisanokayactor 2 года назад

The slate is 12.3", same as the surface pro devices

@laks2804 2 года назад

Bro personally u think pixel slate has edge over it in terms of processor ? And also I'm planning on buying either 1, which one u suggest the Duet 5 8gb ram version or pixel slate core M3 version both are similar priced considering the it on sale but no keyboard for pixel slate included

@benaffleckisanokayactor 2 года назад

@@laks2804 Pixel Slate should be way better. Although the Duet 5 has a great screen

@francov3535 2 года назад

I'm still using my Pixel Slate, especially for media consumption and to play Stadia. Also, I connect my Slate to an external monitor. Regarding image quality with the OLED display compared to the pixel slate, do you think it will be an upgrade getting the Duet 5?

@Giteska555 2 года назад

Look great! Likely this is finally a Chromebook fulfilling my requirements. You got any information on launch/price in Europe?

Looks nice, but when I went to the Lenovo website to get more info it says discontinued. Kind of strange for a device that's only a couple of months old. Do they mean out of stock?

I had an online chat with a sales agent: She, too, confirmed that this model has been discontinued and recommended the earlier 10 inch model. But then she mentioned that a new Gen 6 model will become available in January.

I'm on my 4th Duet 5 since I got my first one in March 2022. That's right, I've had 3 fail, and the life of each one has been the same (2 months). If the trend continues, my current Duet 5 should fail in mid December 2022. Kudos to the retailer for replacing the failed units, and allowing a full warranty from when each replacement is issued, but eventually it will become a discontinued model and I might have to switch to something else. I like the screen, battery life, form factor and the price (got it for $360USD). Why these things suddenly die after 2 months is a mystery. Anyway, it's given me a good taste for Chromebook tech, good battery life and OLED screens.

@ronquick534 2 года назад

Great video, enjoy the honest review. This is exactly what I was looking for for my wife. Unfortunately I can't get the 8 gig version in Canada and Lenova informed me that they are discontinued. Do you have a suggestion on a comparable chrome tablet.
